Why a civil marriage? Is there an impediment to the marriage in the Church? Are both of the parents free to marry?

My understanding is the priest must feel assured the child will be raised Catholic if it is suspected that the baptism is only for the sake of a secular party or just because. NO!  

As someone else pointed out in case of danger of death, the priest is obligated to baptize no matter what the circuмstances, at least as I said, that is my understanding.

I believe that they would not be able to baptize the child so long as the couple were living in sin (OP implied that the marriage may not be valid).  Otherwise, if it was a valid marriage, with only one of the couple being Catholic, both would still have to promise to raise the child Catholic.
